Army wife Misty Shaffer lost 150 pounds during her husband's one-year deployment to Afghanistan.

The homecoming surprise was revealed to Army Spc. Larry Shaffer at his hometown airport in Wilmington, North Carolina last Wednesday.

"Wow," Shaffer said upon seeing his wife, local NBC affiliate WECT reported. "This is icing on the cake because I've been happy with the way she's looked since day one but it's something she wanted to do and she reached her goal."

"Everything’s new," Shaffer said to reporters who filmed the long-awaited reunion at the airport. "I pretty much have a new wife. My daughter’s three times the size she was and we have our own home now."

It is unclear how long Shaffer will remain stateside, considering he is starting a new tour of duty, WECT reports.
